Spam by text increasing?

Just had this message in my inbox.

From +447824652683: "Soz missed ur call. U wont beleive wot me an Nicky did last nite when we got home. Am VVV horni ring me back on landline battery dead Sara T. 02081145568"

A simple search by Google proves that it's a spam message, and the fact their phone had suddenly died made it suspicious. It seems they have lots of phone numbers to keep it going too. Hmmph.

I'm really really careful about what I do with my mobile number. I never put it down on forms if it's for marketing purposes, only if it's someone who will genuinely need to contact me. I haven't had any text spam in a couple of years, although O2 do send me texts and photo messages sometimes.

Oh dear.. Have you been given it then?

I don't put my number down on things. Must be my very drunk friends really.

Only been given it once and that was by a girl who gave it to me by mistake as she had it saved under my number. She was a wee a bit embarrassed to say to least.

I really should edit my post for clarity
